RESULTS OF DRAINAGE.
The Service Rendered by Water I'm Its Pas
sage Through the Soil.


Water is the principal food of plants,
forming as it does from 80 to 95 per
cent. of their bulk in growing state.
But like all other food it must be given
in moderation and not to excess. A
large quantity of water passes through
a plant during its period of growth.
This is indispensable, as the solid food
is carried through the cellular struct-
ure of plants by water, which entering
by the roots passes through the stem to
the leaves where the surplus escapes as
vapor into the air.. This water con-
tains the solid plant food in solution,
and the quantity of water passing
through a plant depends very much
upon the amount of plant food held in
solution. This must be obvious be-
cause if the solution is weak and con-
tains a small quantity of food sub
stances a larger quantity of it must
pass through the plants to supply the
matter needed for their growth. Just
as when the maple sap is thin and
weak more of it must be boiled down to
make a pound of sugar, so when the
sap of the soil is thin and more watery
the plant must evaporate more of it to
procure pound of solid substance.

old military instinct stirred within them, the
old military habit dominated them again,
and they Mastered to tender their services for
the contest
Gen. Richardson was in both the Seminole
and Mexican wars, and IN all the hardest
fighting Of the Army of the Potomac up to
his death. He had only been appointed q
major general July 4, 1859. He was actively
engaged Mt South Mountain three days be-
fore receiving the mortal wound at Antieram
He did not die at once, but fingered in suf-
fering state ut Fry's house, McClellan's head

wounded shortly after tho fatal shot struck
Gen. Richardson on the Union side.
The brigade CT Gen. Roger A. Pryor, who
took his division commanders place after the
latter was wounded, participated in the ter
rible fighting at the sunken road.
The career Of Gen. Roger A. Pryor is q
notable instance of the changes time has
brought about. A native of Dinwiddie
county, Va, he was one of the most jealous
of Confederates. He went in person to South
Carolina to urge on the secession cause to the
point OF war. He fought for the Confederacy

during the war he was captured by the Fed.

THE ANTIETAM BATTLEFIELD.
It will be seen from the map that tho An
tietam is creek which flows nearly due south
through Maryland to the westward Of and
nearly parallel with the South Mountain.
Across Antietam creek, and on its west side,
Is the village Of Sharpsburg. Along Antie-
tam creek and In and around Sharpsburg the
bloody battle of the 18th of September was
fought between the forces Of Lee and Nc.
Clelan.
The intervening days had given Lees army
time to collect itself. Harper's Ferry sur
rendered to Jackson on the 18th, and imme-
diately no and Gen. Walker, with oil their
forces, set out by swift marches to join Leo
and relieve him of his peril. They crossed
the Potomac to the Maryland side at the
Shepherdstown ford from which n road led
directly to Sharpsburg.
The Confederates name the battle OF the
18th for the town, Sharpsburg; the Federals
name It Antietain, after the creek. Lees
lighting force Mt Sharpsburg was only 81 100.
He had entered Maryland Sept 4 with not
quite $1,000 infantry troops He had lost

Antietam Mcclellan had 7,164 men, &C, coo

Concerning this fight Gen. Longstreet
speaks his mind from the Confederate
standpoint in his usual free manner
Speaking Of tho night of tie 18TH after Lee
heard of the fall Of Harpers Ferry, he says:
"Right then we should have retired from
Sharpsburg and gone to the Virginia side Of
tho Potomac"
Mcclellan followed the retreat Of Hill and
Longstreet on the 18th. There was a slight
skirmish on the borders of the Antietam OH the
18th. During all the 10th both armies were
busy preparing for the tremendous fight
which they knew was impending BY the
18th tho Confederate Gen. McLaws, too, had
been able to join Lee at Shnrpsburg.
The morning of September II found most
of McClellans army across the Antietam, on
the same side with the Confederates Hooker
had crossed first, the afternoon of the 10th.
There was on that day an indecisive brush
between Gems. Hooker and Hood Gen.

Military critics from the safe distance both
OF time and space say now that when news
came That Lees whole army was in that
vicinity, though on the Maryland side of the
Potomac, the garrison mt Harper's Ferry
should have either Ueen strengthened or the
place evacuated and the troops sent to Join
the main Union army. Neither was done, al

Ferry should be abandoned, ,s it was Of no

from which he died next day. At the ap-
proach of jackson Gen. White, with his little
command, had left Martinsburg and joined
Miles at Harper's Ferry. Miles being
wounded, it was White who surrendered the
garrison by advice OF council of war. There
have been few points of controversy during
our civil war more holly discussed than
whether Miles should have surrendered Har.
per's Ferry. The surrounding heights com.
mnnded the place completely, and these
speedily fell into possession Of the Confeder-
ates, because Miles had not men enough to

After Col Miles death his action in yield
